    The Place Where We Got Grace Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 22, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,545 views

    Amazing Grace is such a powerful song that even pagans will tear up when they hear it. What is the message in this song that can speak to the hearts of people who don't understand what Jesus did?

    OPEN: A very distinguished preacher and 2 of the leaders from his congregation had attended an out of town meeting that didn’t finish until late that night. As they headed home, they were hungry and decided to have something to eat before going home but the only place open was a seedy bar and ...read more

    God Directs

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 12, 2014
     | 13,002 views

    God wants to direct His people to where He wants them to be. Keep the Lord before you continually. Trust that God knows what He is doing, even when we don't.

    How do you survive in the wilderness? You need food and water, you need to stay warm at night and cool in the day. • God provided all that! Daily manna from the sky, water from the rock, pillar of cloud by day and pillar of fire by night. • God is the reason why they survived the ...read more

    The Breastplate Of Righteousness Series

     | 5,380 views

    We utilize what God has issued us for the conflict. We need protection. Which breastplate are we trusting? Our own, or Christ's righteousness? Don't go to war without the Breastplate of Righteousness.

    In today’s military, a critical element of force protection is body armor. The Army issues Kevlar flak vests to soldiers to protect their upper body. DuPont, the manufacturer, claims they’re lightweight, but I’d disagree. It doesn’t take long to feel weighed down. ...read more

    Don’t live below your privileges in Jesus. One of the biggest challenges for new Christians is realizing what Jesus has done and what He’s still doing in your heart.

    This sermon is meant to encourage our church to overcome fear of death, and embrace the struggles we facwe throughout life in the flesh. Based on chapter 5 in John Piper's Book, "Don't Waste Your Life"

    RISK IS RIGHT 1 Mark 8:34-38 Risk defined is an action that exposes you to the possibility of loss or injury! Risk in the name of Jesus is right! Risk in the pursuit of God is right! Not risks in pursuit of exhilaration, or just for fun. We’re talking about risks in life based on faith in ...read more

    A Passion To Serve

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Sep 3, 2020
     | 8,061 views

    There is this big disconnect between loving the Lord and serving Him because many who say they love the Lord really don’t love Him. We will learn today that Jesus links together love and service.

    If one were to take a survey and ask Christians the question “Do you love the Lord” the results of the survey would probably indicate that 99.9% of all surveyed "loved the Lord." Most would even say they "loved the Lord a lot." If one were to survey these same people and ask ...read more

    The Promise Of Peace

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,429 views

    You need to realize in that feeling of unworthiness is when the accuser is stealing, killing and destroying your peace and blessing, knocking them right out from underneath of you and you don’t even know it!

    The promise of Peace Matt. 7:11 NKJ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? This is what Clarke’s Commentary has to say, If ye, then, being evil - who are radically and ...read more

    Science & Faith: Does God Exist? Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 20, 2021
     | 1,972 views

    Truth is under attack today. In fact it’s suggested that we live in a post-truth culture. But I don’t believe that’s true. Truth is by it’s very nature exclusive.

    Truth is under attack today. In fact it’s suggested that we live in a post-truth culture. But I don’t believe that’s true. Truth is by it’s very nature exclusive. And that tracks with reality. Multiple contradictory truth claims can’t all be true. If 2+2=4, that is the only answer to that question. ...read more

    Love And Respect

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Feb 7, 2020
     | 3,357 views

    What makes a godly marriage godly? Why do some marriages stay together and some don't? If I want to be a better husband or wife, what should my role model be?

    Love and Respect (Eph. 5:31-33) Intro: A. It is often quoted that 50 percent of all US marriages end in divorce. The problem is, that is not a correct statistic. In fact, it is reported that the divorce rate has been in decline since 1980. No matter what the number is, the marriage that ...read more

    Let The Son Shine In!!! Series

    Contributed by Tiger Newkirt on Jun 4, 2022
     | 2,312 views

    Even if the sun should disappear behind thick clouds so that we don’t see it for a while, the Apostle Paul tells us about another kind of Son light that shines on us and through us.

    Topic: Let the Son Shine in !! Scripture: Ephesians 5:8 Even if the temperatures don’t always reflect it, the position of the sun proves it. Spring is on its way! Yes, there may be lots of snow on the ground and the sidewalks covered with ice, but the sun keeps climbing higher and staying longer ...read more

    Pursue The Things That Make For Peace

     | 2,459 views

    How do you get along with difficult people? It can be really hard sometimes. Even in church you can experience times when you don't see eye to eye with others.

    Alba 6-12-2022 PURSUE THE THINGS THAT MAKE FOR PEACE Romans 14:1-23 I hope you’re not like the hypercritical husband who was impossible to please. He was really cranky at breakfast. If his wife made scrambled eggs, he wanted them poached; if the eggs were poached, he wanted them scrambled. One ...read more

    Sought By God

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 24, 2022
     | 2,361 views

    The evil and wickedness we are seeing in the world is breaking God’s heart. And He’s looking for a people to work with Him to give those who don’t know Jesus an opportunity to avoid the lake of fire.

    Turn with me to Genesis 18. I want to look at Genesis 18, but probably not for the reason that it was written. Oh, so you are going to take scripture out of context? No. You are getting ready to make scripture mean something that it doesn’t mean? No. It’s just that there so much that we can learn ...read more

    Reuben, Mister "Might Have Been” Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jul 13, 2022
     | 2,927 views

    The firstborn son had certain privileges in Hebrew families. Reuben, Jacob's oldest, gave in to sin and as a result, he lost his blessing and birthright. Don't make Reuben mistakes!

    Introduction: Back in the early 1980’s, Pastor Dale Burden, then living in the Tidewater area of Virginia (the cities near Norfolk and Virginia Beach) preached a message, or a series (IIRC) about Reuben, calling him “mister might have been”. After all these years, I still remember bits and pieces ...read more

    Joseph: Rejected But Respected Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 11, 2022
     | 3,998 views

    The life of Joseph, son of Jacob, is one of the most interesting in the Bible. This message is mostly a summary of his life, from slave to sovereign to sustainer. Don't we all wish there were more Josephs!

    Introduction: What comes to mind when you think about Joseph, son of Jacob? Many of us, including me, tend to think first of his “coat of many colors” and his dreams. That’s true, but that’s only part of the story. In fact, Joseph spent several years away from his family in a foreign land, rising ...read more
